Citizen Comments and Suggestions. Dennis Smith, 5557 St. Stephens,
suggested that there should be a sidewalk between Quincy and Long
Lake Road on County Rd. I. He has no petition yet. Mr. Gustafson,
County Rd. I and Long Lake Rd., suggested they widen the street and
the speed limit should be reduced to 30 mph. After the blacktop is
there put a white line and designate that this is the bicycle and
pedestrian area. Something should be done before somebody gets
hurt. There are also no street lights. Don McNamara, 5551 St.
Stephens, stated that the kids have to walk four blocks on County
Rd. I and when it is plowed they are practically in the traffic.
Further, it is dark in the winter.
Councilman Baumgartner stated that Fridley has put the white lines
on Osborne Rd. but it doesn't seem to mean anything. Engineer Bearden
said that the general policy of the county is not to pay for sidewalks.
They allow the city to put sidewalks in if it doesn't interfere
with their expansion plans. MSA funds are available for sidewalks
in certain instances.
Mayor Johnson suggested researching the question to see if MSA funds
could be used. He would not want to jeopardize any funds but check
and get a reading on it.
Dennis Smith said that if they had it on the one side it would help.
Currently the women are forming a walk patrol to escort the children
to school.
Mayor Johnson stated that the problem is how to fund the project.
Further, you are going to have to have a petition from the residents
in this area.
Mayor Johnson recessed the regular meeting at 8:30 for the public
hearing on Selmer Sakariason major subdivision request for property
on Sunnyside Rd. between Ardan Ave. and County Rd. J.
Charles Buzzel, developer, stated that this is a subdivision of five
lots on Sunnyside. Presently there is a home and an out building
on the premises that will be removed. Lots will be 81 x 236.
